Mood.
I blew out my rear tire over the weekend, somehow. A man with a van just came and took my bike away in a howling gale. We get some weather!
I mean, the tire is one thing, but it’s ten years old now and it shows. The cosmetics are grungy and the motor is starting to stutter. He’s going to give it a onceover and get back to me.
I’ll let you know the verdict. Surely the fact this man sells electric bikes won’t affect his judgement.

I hope all’s well.
Missus Mulroy has a proper British cycle, and I have a Chicago frame Schwinn Varsity. Both are older than we are.
I don’t know what we’d do without them.

10 years seems like a pretty good run for an electric bike used practically daily. I assume it lives a typical bicycle life style of not-quite left out in the weather but not exactly stored carefully either.
Do you have a particular model in mind if you do decide to replace it?

Surely.
